Television and radio will commemorate the death of Joost Prinsen (83) on Monday and Tuesday. For example, the broadcast of Kunststof on NPO Radio 1 on Monday evening focuses on the actor and presenter. He will be honored in a special broadcast on NPO 2 on Tuesday evening.
Joost Prinsen passed away this Monday. The actor and presenter, who was born in Vught and spent his youth in Roosendaal and Breda, died of cancer and a cerebral infarction.
He appeared in many plays, musicals and television series and was also a teacher at the Kleinkunstacademie. Prinsen was one of the creators of the quiz ‘With the knife on the table’. For years he introduced guests on the radio in the program ‘Kunststof’.
‘Unique and beloved person’
The news is being reacted to with sadness across the country. His death will be commemorated on the radio on Monday evening at seven o’clock, and a ‘special broadcast’ will be shown on Tuesday evening. He is honored ‘for everything he has meant to the NPS/NTR’, NTR writes in a memoriam on the website.
“Joost was a familiar face and voice within the public broadcaster for many years. His work, his sense of language and his warmth made him a unique and beloved person,” the broadcaster continues. “He managed to touch the audience with his voice, his knowledge and his humor.”
Condolence register
Sound & Vision has also opened a condolence register for Prinsen. Anyone can leave a message in the lobby of the building. Normally, condolence registers are often kept in the media museum, but it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
